Shang Shulang is actually very eye-catching for Mr. Boy's rag dolls and puppet Caton.

He had recently carefully studied alchemy, and knew that Caton was not a puppet, but a puppet related to alchemy, an artificial creature that used various materials as its body and the runic formation as its bloodline and command center, but it was just a human form.

Shang Shulang was embarrassed because he actually exchanged martial arts with Caton and had a good chat with a puppet.

It's obviously a guy like a robot, and he deceived me so hard, and even he didn't reach the level of AI, and his intelligence was not outstanding.

Of course, this is also the factor behind Mr. Tong's answer for Caton, Mr. Tong seems to be indifferent and even ruthless, but he is not bored with himself, but helps himself. Could it be that my popularity is good, and my EQ is higher than my IQ?

Alchemy is no worse than puppetry, and even better than puppetry in terms of convenience, weirdness, etc.

Although the puppet technique also pays attention to the rune array and also needs energy cores, it relies more on "hardware".

The materials required for alchemy are limited, relying more on runes and spells, emphasizing "software", and when it comes to the level of dolls, it is simply to take corpses or even big living people as objects, and directly refine them into puppets, which is very strong and unreasonable at all.

Paper puppets are a skill that must be mastered at the beginning of alchemy, and the materials it requires are very simple, a piece of paper, a ball of metal wire, a pen to draw runes, and the only special thing is that it needs celestial trace liquid.

The configuration of the Heavenly Scar Liquid requires demon beast eggs, evil spirit grass, snow lotus seeds, hundred-eyed fish eyes, and your own blood, and the five ingredients are mixed and boiled to be successful.

Once he was able to refine paper dolls, Shang Shulang was able to master a special skill. Paper puppets can do many things, such as placing them in a designated place in advance, and they can achieve a similar effect of teleportation with the help of paper puppets.

For another example, refining a stand-in paper puppet can be used to explore on your own, go to dangerous areas, monitor and detect, secretly plan sneak attacks, etc., which is extremely practical.

What's even more powerful is to refine the paper puppet for the dead, and it can even be automatically launched when it is attacked by a fatal attack, and I can avoid the damage of the seventh to ninth layers and save my life.

Therefore, the dead paper puppet is priceless, and very few people can refine it, and it is said that the relevant skills have been lost, and the ones that are currently flowing in the world are the relics of the predecessors, and they can't be bought.

He had already obtained the evil spirit grass and snow lotus seeds in the depths of the underground mine, and the demon beast eggs were also easy to obtain, and the only missing hundred eye fish eyes had not heard of.

"Hundred milk?" Lao Li Tou was well-informed, and when he heard Shang Shulang's inquiry, he asked in surprise: "That's a strange murderous thing, you'd better not provoke them." ”

"Tell me where it is, honorable chief. ”

"Milkfish are found in the streams of the Black Pine Mountains, and they are extremely rare, small in size, but they live in groups, they are very ferocious, and they are very difficult to catch. ”

Lao Li Tou was strange, how could Qiao Qianshan know about the flounder, he had also heard the old people mention it, but he had never seen this kind of fierce beast.

Shang Shulang didn't explain much, and the next day he hurried into the Black Pine Mountains to the north.

The Black Pine Mountains are too big, too long, too majestic, and stretch for an unknown amount of time, extending northwest to the southeast border of the Futu Empire, bordering the Yongan Empire where they are located, and extending to the territory of the Holy Dragon Empire in the northeast, spanning tens of thousands of miles from east to west.

Black pine grows everywhere in the Black Pine Mountains, surrounded by three or five people, black pines up to dozens of meters high can be seen everywhere, and the wood is extremely hard, and non-sharp refined logging tools cannot be shaken.

The depths of the mountain range are not only extremely steep, there are many dangerous and strange places where some rare demon beast races are gathered, as well as ancient ruins where unjust souls and evil ghosts gather, as well as Jedi that naturally form formations and can psychedelic minds.

Of course, in addition to the danger, the Black Pine Mountain Range is also a treasure trove for hunting monsters, digging rare ores, and obtaining spiritual grass and strange fruits.

Shang Shulang went deep for hundreds of miles, walked through countless streams, and searched for places with hidden corners, but he didn't see even a hundred milkfish.

In the past few days, I have mastered a lot of runes for refining puppets, and I can already draw more than 30 kinds of runes, and I have also found things such as wolf hair and dazzling gold stones that make rune pens, and I can make them when I go back to buy a pen barrel.

At the same time, he has also fought many battles with the demon beasts and monsters in the cottage, and his body protection and sword skills have improved greatly.

Just as he was anxious about this, he again met several adventurers, who appeared one after another, less than an hour apart, and all of them hurried on their way.

It is very rare for adventurers to be so dense, half of them will distance and time to explore, to avoid conflicts between the interests of each other's manufacturers, and even some adventure teams are only in certain geographical ranges, and will not run around to provoke people's jealousy.

The members of the adventure group who passed by one after another, their expressions were both excited and nervous, as if something good was going on, as if some people were still a little excited.

Everyone hurried to the west, ignoring Shang Shulang even when they saw him, not as alert as he used to find strangers.

Shang Shulang was also curious, he followed the footsteps of the adventurers in front of him, and traced all the way, he wanted to see why they were running in the same direction.

Their feet are not particularly fast, and the strength of one or two of the adventurers in a group is not clear, and the strength of most of them is average, probably to the level of nine layers of skin.

Strangely enough, half of them were carrying a large package, which they cared about, as if they had something really good in it.

Finally, Shang Shulang followed the adventurers to a valley, and he was surprised to find that many adventurers had gathered here, and many of them were also carrying large bags and small bags.

Rush to the market? There is no market? Delivery? There is no need to accept people to show up?

What are so many people gathered here for?

Shang Shulang was confused, carefully observed, listened to their conversation, and finally understood the purpose of their hurried behavior.

Mysterious merchants, a very special profession, they are proficient in a special kind of skills, can haunt many dangerous areas, even the vast majority of monsters and monsters ignore them, and a very small number of intelligent monsters and monsters will trade some special items with them.

Of course, their main trade object is humans, and they will suddenly appear next to you, and they are the most popular people for adventurers, because the large amount of materials, spirit grass, etc. they harvest cannot be brought out of the deep mountains and old forests or some Jedi, and it is too convenient to trade to mysterious merchants.

As for what skills the mysterious merchant is good at, a mercenary told an example.

A gold-level master in the forbidden land had a sudden evil idea and wanted to rob a silver-level merchant, but the crazy sneak attack had no effect, and the merchant was immune to all types of attacks.

On the contrary, the merchant turned to the great master, who offered all the harvest on the spot, sold it to the mysterious merchant at a very low price, and left in disarray.

People were dumbfounded, and no one knew how he did it, how he persuaded the big masters to lose their interests but was helpless.

For the mystery merchant, they buy and sell almost anything, only what you can't think of, there is almost nothing that the mystery merchant can't take, as long as he can afford the money, he will provide it to you.

After a long time, the sun was setting, and it was almost dark, and the mysterious merchant finally appeared suddenly in a clearing.

Shang Shulang looked at the mysterious merchant curiously. He is obese, holding this big belly, and he has a bit of a cute appearance when he smiles.

"I was invited to come today, do you have anything decent to take out quickly, this merchant has limited time, and I have to rush to the forbidden place to trade." ”

What kind of place is the forbidden land, Shang Shulang still knows a little, it is a large vast swamp and dense forest dangerous place in the west of the abandoned city.

The danger level of the forbidden land is beyond the underground of the ruined city, and there are monsters and monsters everywhere at the level of demon generals or even above. Anyone who can break through there is a character with strong skills, and ordinary people can't get out at all.

Everyone lined up in order of cultivation according to their cultivation, but Shang Shulang stood alone on the rock, which seemed a little special and abrupt.

The mysterious merchant glanced at him and muttered, "This is just a show? ”

Everyone trades with the mysterious merchant in turn, and outsiders can only see the adventurer hand over the things and then get the items he wants, but they don't know where the things have gone and where the mysterious merchant has taken them out.

Shang Shulang watched while thinking, the mysterious merchant must have some kind of space treasure, otherwise, he couldn't fit so many goods, the question is, when someone snatches it, what method does he use to immune himself to attack?

The transaction was orderly and extremely fast, and in less than an hour, there were only seven or eight adventurers left, and the others quickly withdrew under the protection of their companions and returned to the station.

Shang Shulang finally stepped forward: "Do you have a hundred eyes of fish?"

The mysterious merchant smiled, "Of course, how much does the little brother want?"

Shang Shulang was overjoyed: "What is the price? I want to buy as many as I can." ”

"One thousand gold coins, it's very cheap, you know, it's hard to find halibut, you can't catch them without special means. ”

"Twenty. Shang Shulang nodded, took out the golden ticket, the transaction was successfully completed, and finally had a hundred eyes of fish, which could refine the Tianji liquid and test the paper puppet, and he was a little desperate to wait for this day.

The mysterious merchant is really a good profession, he can earn unimaginable wealth, just the transaction just now, Shang Shulang believes that he has made a lot of money.

In fact, the mysterious merchant was also interested in Shang Shulang, and he watched Shang Shulang quickly disappear into the distance, and muttered again.

"I've never seen such a weird guy, and foreknowledge doesn't work for him. Outsiders? no, strange! Oh, how did I forget to buy his body protection, it's a top-notch skill!"

... ...

Shang Shulang, who returned to the camp of the homeless people, got busy, making foreshadowing, configuring the Heavenly Scar Liquid, and trying paper puppets...

After failing again and again, he was distressed, cheered up, meditated, rejoiced, and went through all kinds of hardships to finally make his own paper puppet.

Looking at the few paper puppets on the table, Shang Shulang's heart was surging, he grew so big, he suddenly found that the moment when he studied something, experienced countless failures, and finally succeeded, it was so wonderful and comfortable.
